If We Could See Inside Others’ Hearts

Here is a wonderful illustration of the importance of seeing things from the perspective of others. Understanding what’s taking place in the heart and mind of the viewer is the root of evidence and patient based art. As art consultants, we consider the perspective of the viewer in creating every art program. That means we think about who will be viewing an art installation, how long they will be viewing it, their potential stress level at the time and how often they will view the same piece. It’s a lot to consider when creating an art program — but when you truly take time to view the healthcare experience from the perspective of others, these details make a huge difference.

Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?” – Henry David Thoreau
